Ready and waiting

I took a bike ride through the vineyards surrounding Amboise yesterday. I saw many fields that looked like they're ready for the vendange (grape harvest). Some were being harvested while others have already been so. Due to the weather situation throughout the growing season, it looks like most will be harvested earlier than usual this year.

About Amboise

Amboise is a town of some 13,000 inhabitants on the Loire river about two hours south of Paris by car or train. The Loire river valley is home to over 50 châteaux including Chenonceau, Chambord, Villandry, and of course the château at Amboise. Tourism plays a huge role in the economy as the area draws tourists who come to tour the châteaux, taste the local wines and goat cheeses, and ride the many bike trails and routes.

Here is link to a drone's eye view of Amboise provided by the Tourist Office.
